Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Guilt causes several physical ailments: ulcers, headaches, and high blood pressure to name a few. Guilt can cloud our days and lay a heavy weight on us at all times. If that describes you, listen to Jesus’ invitation. He says, “Come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.” If you feel that weight of guilt on you, confess to Jesus what is making you feel this way, give that weight to him, and he in turn will give you rest. He has taken that weight and nailed it to the cross with him. It no longer belongs to you. Instead, he gives you rest and peace as that weight comes off of you knowing that you are forgiven. Give him that weight today, and trust in his love and forgiveness.

Dear Jesus, thank you for taking the weight of guilt off of me. It has freed me and given me rest. Help me to enjoy the peace and forgiveness that comes with knowing you and trusting your Word today.
